So yes, that is true, I mentioned it in my original post, however due to c being the speed of causality, we don't actually have to care if the theoretical "photon" or "waveform" has a "position" that is moving. What I actually care about is weather it can cause a measurable effect to a place...

Well, the video is from Veritasium, not minute physics (though I have seen all videos of both channels). From the video and what I can skim from the page (I will do a full reading of it later) it seems to give a better explanation of HUP, however it is still still dances around the question. The...

Alright, that all makes sense. So in other words, what I've been calling "high uncertainty" would just mean "high variance". Everything should still work the same. If a photon starts from a well measured location, the variance of it's direction will be very high, however it will still travel the...

Yeah, there isn't much that Heisenberg can say about us calculating the past velocity of it, however by taking the measurement of the position ##x_2##, we have re-randomized the momentum of it, so we may know how its momentum and position was in the past, that does not mean that we know it...

I'd agree with the first part, however I'd suggest the latter to be missing the point. It is a fundamental law, as far as I can tell it is an emergent property in all systems, usually propagated by the observer effect or wave-particle duality (but this changes a great deal depending on which...

To summarize, my current understanding of how Heisenberg's uncertainty principal works suggests that there would be a contradiction (somewhere down the line) with any way that it applies to (or doesn't apply to) photons, due to the fact that they must always travel the speed of light. I...
